Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: Reduce verbosity of "PAT enabled" kernel message
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:35:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <adavdj92sso.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

    x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106

once for every CPU.  This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for
example, on a 64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

    dmesg| grep 'PAT enabled' | wc
         64     704    5174

There is already a BUG() if non-boot CPUs have PAT capabilities that
don't match the boot CPU, so just print the message on the boot CPU.
(I kept the print after the wrmsrl() that enables PAT, so that the log
output continues to mean that the system survived enabling PAT on the
boot CPU)
